Email Submission Guidelines:
Please send all digital submissions to info@pennylanefineart.com.
- Subject Line: Please use “Artwork Submission - [Your Name]”
- Required Attachments: Please attach 8–10 individual .JPG files directly to your email (72 DPI, max 1 MB per file; total email size not to exceed 10 MB). Direct .JPG attachments are required so our team can instantly review your artwork.
- Websites & Social Media: You are welcome to include links to your website or Instagram in the body of your email! However, direct .JPG attachments are required for our initial review. Due to our company’s email security protocols, external links and non-image attachments (such as PDFs) are flagged for security scanning and cannot be accessed during initial review. Submissions without direct .JPG attachments will not be reviewed.
- Artwork Style: Finished, decorative artwork only—no sketches, please!
What to expect after submitting:
- Confirmation: You will receive an automated email response letting you know your submission was successfully received and forwarded to our review committee.
- Review Timeline: Due to the high volume of submissions, we will only contact you directly (within two weeks) if we feel your artwork is a good fit for our line.
- Our Review Process: We maintain a focused roster of 80+ artists and only add artwork that meets very specific, current trend needs for the commercial home decor market. If you do not hear from us after two weeks, we are not moving forward with your submission at this time.
Frequently Asked Questions:
May I submit artwork if I am published by someone else?
If you are currently under contract with a publishing house, we appreciate your interest, but would prefer to be contacted after your contract expires (unless your contract is non-exclusive).
Will I be under contract with Penny Lane?
If we publish any of your artwork, a contract will be negotiated beforehand in order to protect both parties. If we feel your submission fills a void in our print line, specific details of the contract (including royalties, term of contract, sub-licensing, etc.) will be discussed at that time.
How will I be compensated?
We compensate our artists on a royalty basis so when your artwork sells well, you do well. Penny Lane absorbs all the costs of publishing and marketing your artwork.
Do I get my original artwork back?
Artists maintain ownership and copyright to all of their artwork. After your artwork is scanned, the original will be returned to you.
Will I be asked to paint specific things?
If a customer requests specific subject matter, we will pass this information on to the artist. Generally speaking we prefer our artists use their own creativity when painting artwork for Penny Lane. We publish standard sizes (12x12, 12x16, 18x24) as well as unique sizes (6x36, 8x20, 20x20).
We hope this has provided you with some answers. Thank you for your interest in Penny Lane. Good luck to you in your search for a publisher, and if you are interested in self-publishing, please visit our Printing Services for more information.
